Rubies
Rubies are the most valuable members of the Corundum mineral species, which also includes sapphires. The strength of their lush red colour depends on how much chromium is present and the more chromium they contain, the stronger and more intense their rich red hue.
The most famous rubies sourced from locations such as Myanmar, the Himalayas and north Vietnam are found in layers of marble and these rubies have a vibrant red glow, unlike those found in basalt rock, which have a darker and less intense hue.
Early cultures treasured rubies for their similarity to human blood and believed rubies held the power of life itself. Since then, these hauntingly beautiful gems have featured throughout history, being mentioned in the Bible and by Roman scholars and revered by Hindus who offered rubies to the god Krishna in the hope that they would be reborn as emperors.
And rubies retain their importance and significance today, with desire for them as great as it has ever been. A symbol of passion, wealth, and success, they are considered an ideal romantic gift, particularly for those who are about to be wed.
